When we acquired our first Catalina (a 270), we had a lengthy discussion, especially as our former second hand boat (a UK licence build Catalina 22) was called "Woezel". We never knew to what that name referred, nor did we alter the name. But... give the fact that our family name is Lof (which sounds a bit like 'Love'), and our sailing yacht is a "boat", the combination is surprisingly simple... Her name is "Lofboat". The kept the name, when we passed on to a Catalina 30 MkIII and lateron to Catalina 36 MkII. The latter is now "as a true love-boat" available for charter and time share in Greece (Ionian See).
